Will Jaime betray Cersei? And who is the Prince Who Was Promised? Read on to find out the hidden stories behind the best of the best Game of Thrones theories, and what they might mean heading into season 8. The idea here is that Daenerys was not King Rhaegar's sister, but one of his children conceived with his first wife, Elia Martell. It's postulated that, following Rhaegar's death, Dany was smuggled into Dorne and brought up there in hiding, in the same way that Jon was taken under Ned Stark's wing as his supposed bastard child. That means Jon and Dany share the same father, Rhaegar, but different mothers, Lyanna Stark and Elia Martell respectively, which explains why they look so different from one another despite the blood relation. This theory leads us to re-interpret all sorts of events from Game of Thrones' televised history. Did Ned, as the king's hand in , try to dissuade Robert from killing Dany because he somehow knew of Jon's close familial connection to her? What does this mean for the Azor Ahai prophesy about the Prince Who Was Promised? As for the future, could Jon and Dany end up as lovers, half-siblings, and shared rulers to the Iron Throne? Hopefully season 8 can offer some more light on this rather disturbing subject... Cersei becomes the Mad Queen After Cersei went all 'girl on fire' against the Sept of Baelor and declared herself ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, it seems she's fast turning into a metaphorical reincarnation of Aerys Targaryen, AKA the Mad King. Throughout season 7 her behaviour has pointed to an increasing loss of perspective and control. Especially as she's already gone back on her pledge to help fight the White Walkers. This could be a serious problem. Cersei is alone, vindictive, pregnant, and sitting on the Iron Throne. She has enemies in all directions. She's losing her grip on power after the , and even Jaime - her closest ally - is now in her eyes guilty of treason. Where her latest pregnancy fits in... Jaime has seen Daenerys' dragons first-hand, he knows Cersei won't win in open battle, and he's clearly not happy with the direction the kingdom and his family are taking. Especially as Cersei has pretty much just sacrificed the entire North to the White Walkers. Even though Jaime has said time and time again that Cersei is the most important thing in his life, he may be more sympathetic to Tyrion's pleas after discovering his little brother didn't murder Joffrey at the Purple Wedding. And, given his reputation as the Kingslayer, it would be heartbreakingly poetic justice to have Jaime kill the Mad Queen, too, if she pushes her rulership of King's Landing too far. Tyrion Lannister is a Targaryen Jon might not be the only secret Targaryen. Tyrion Lannister is also believed to be one of the prophesied heads of the dragon along with Dany and Jon. It comes from the theory that mad King Aerys Targaryen had an affair with Tywin Lannister's wife, Joanna, the mother of Tyrion, which might explain why Tywin hated him so much. Although this could just be part of Tywin's constant rejection of Tyrion's suitability as a Lannister, it's something that's alluded to again and again throughout the first four seasons. This is likely to be Tyrion showing loyalty to Dany loyalty is a genuinely new thing for Tyrion, given his rather selfish nature and vice versa, but some corners of the internet think it goes deeper than respect and friendship. So far season 7 has only shed light on Jon's lineage, but season 8 may yet provide a familial twist of its own for Tyrion. The biggest is whether he is the Warrior of Light or Prince Who Was Promised. All signs point to yes. In addition, Jon picked his Night's Watch post over his lady love Ygritte , which ties into the original Azor Ahai and Nissa Nissa prophecy. Interestingly, a less popular fan theory suggests that Ser Davos could be the Prince Who Was Promised. He has been linked to Melisandre throughout the show, and was reborn in smoke and salt when he was pulled from the water during the Battle of the Blackwater. His presence could also explain why Melisandre assumed it was Stannis for five seasons, before he was killed by Brienne. In , Melisandre suggests it could be Daenerys, as she speaks to her about the prophecy. The show makes a point of stating that the High Valyrian term for 'Prince' is non-gender specific, suggesting it could even be Dany herself. Euron Greyjoy will control a dragon Euron Greyjoy has already pledged his allegiance to Cersei by wrecking Daenerys' fleet, and bringing her Ellaria Sand and Tyene as prisoners. Last we saw, they were dying in a prison cell, at different rates. However, that may not be the only trick Euron has up his very stylish sleeves. In the books, Euron Greyjoy acquires a horn called Dragonbinder while searching the ruins of Old Valyria. We haven't seen Euron with Dragonbinder in the series so far, but he could definitely surprise Dany and her army. If someone used one of her own dragons against her it would be devastating for Dany. Unlikely, now, as Euron has already established himself as a powerful villain in his own right, and it seems the show is leaving it to Qyburn to deal with the impending dragon assault on King's Landing with his Scorpions, which we know work, thanks to Bronn's heroics at the Battle of the Loot Train. Also, the Night King has Viserion in his army, so adding a third player in the dragon vs dragon battle seems excessive. We already know Bran can see into the past and future, and he can influence events and 'warg' into people. Seeing as he's aware of the White Walkers in the present day, maybe it's his responsibility to travel into the past and raise The Wall to keep them out. Also, in the books Old Nan mentions - on several occasions - that Bran's favourite stories are the ones about... Is that an echo of the young Stark's future? But hang on, if Bran builds the wall, but also gets marked by the Night King in the present and allows the White Walkers to pass it, does that mean he's wasted his time? Or does it mean he built The Wall to hold the undead at bay until man is ready to deal with them? If we don't get this reveal next year, expect the to possibly delve into the history behind this one. Cleganebowl is still on! Image: © HBO The Hound and his brother The Mountain will almost certainly meet and fight to the death. At the end of it looked pretty bad for the Clegane brothers. Sandor 'The Hound' Clegane was beaten by Brienne and left to die by Arya, while Gregor 'The Mountain' Clegane was fatally poisoned by Prince Oberyn of Dorne. However, both of them survived and now they're on a collision course. The Hound is currently teamed up with Jon Snow and the Northmen. But before he was fighting alongside Beric Dondarrion and the Brotherhood without Banners, who were originally sent by Robert Baratheon to kill Gregor Clegane in the books. Wouldn't it be delicious if Gregor finally fulfilled this mission in season 8, by taking down undead Gregor once and for all? The fans demand it, and the showrunners are listening. The Wedding of Ice and Fire Snow and Fire. Yes, people have been shipping Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen since basically the beginning of the series, and for good reason. Overall, an alliance between these two is a smart idea. No one would be able to stop them. At the end of season 7 Jon has definitely bent the knee, as their steamy night on the boat and his letter to Sansa proved. Sam Tarly has exposed a Conspiracy of Maesters During his time at the Citadel, Sam pleaded with the Arch Maester to help him fight the White Walker invasion. However, despite admitting that he believed Sam, the Arch Maester refused to act - even belittling Sam in a meeting when the raven arrived from Winterfell in. It could just be that the Maesters are stubborn old fools, refusing to face impending disaster. After all, they've weathered countless wars and catastrophes. However, the suggests that they're in league with Cersei, who has paid them to help her win the PR war against Daenerys. After all, the common people will do as the Maesters tell them, so while they don't fight they are a powerful ally. Another branch to that theory suggests that the Maesters have an agenda to deny all magic in the world of Westeros, promoting fact and history over the unexplained. The existence of dragons and White Walkers would threaten this world view, so the Arch Maester will never publicly admit the existence of either. Which is why Sam has finally left.
